Zeno of Citium was a Hellenistic philosopher who founded the Stoic school of philosophy. He taught Stoicism in Athens, focusing on goodness, peace of mind, and virtue in harmony with nature. His teachings were shaped by the moral principles of the Cynics. Stoicism gained popularity during the Hellenistic period and thrived in the Roman era. Zeno’s philosophy experienced revivals in the Renaissance as Neostoicism and in modern times as Modern Stoicism.
